WARNING

Suspension components with rubber bushings should be tightened with the weight of the vehicle on the suspension, at normal height. If the springs are not at their normal ride position, vehicle ride comfort could be affected and premature bushing wear may occur. Rubber bushings must never be lubricated.

After installing the axle, align the suspension cams, but do NOT fully tighten the nuts yet.
